David Brown sells Benzlers Radicon Division

Recent acquisitions via the Elecon Engineering Company Limited of India have strengthened the position of CBC Australia as Australia’s leading distributor of branded industrial gearbox products.

The David Brown brand of gear reducers, shaft mounted gearboxes, couplings and screw jacks has been synonymous with Australian industry for many decades.

In October 2010 Elecon acquired the Benzlers Radicon division of David Brown along with the David Brown US-based subsidiary, Cone Drive. Well known globally for gearing technology design and manufacture, the Radicon, Benzlers and Benzlers Sala brand names add considerably to CBC’s power transmission product portfolio.

The David Brown range of shaft couplings are still stocked and supplied by CBC. The gearing range will primarily be supplied under the Radicon and Elecon brand names.

Australian industry has for many years been serviced by the David Brown range of products with brands including Sonnerdale, Sonnerdale Richardson, John Welsh, Richardson Gears, Richardson Radicon and Radicon Worm Gear. CBC’s product portfolio now includes options to service its customer base with direct equivalents or redesigned alternatives and upgrades for these products.

CBC’s knowledgeable and experienced technical team delivers complete product support for the David Brown, Radicon, Benzlers and Elecon ranges.
